Konoha's Hextech Ninja

Needless to say, Yagami Yoruichi knew that, given Tsunade's personality, Maruboshi Kosuke would have to put in a lot of effort to get her to agree to take him on as a disciple, even if it was just for a chance to test him.

Yagami Yoruichi would naturally cherish such an opportunity.

"Don't worry, Senior Kosuke, I will do my best and not let you down," Yagami Yoruichi said earnestly.

"Let's go, it's time for my appointment with Tsunade." Maruboshi Kosuke led Yagami Yoruichi into the Senju clan compound and headed towards a large mansion in the very center of the compound.

Chapter 45: Persuading someone to study medicine will be punished by heaven.

The door was pushed open, revealing the face of a little girl.

"Yoruichi-kun?" Shizune looked at Yagami Yoruichi in surprise, wondering why her genius classmate would come to her door.

"Shizune?" Yagami Yoruichi was also somewhat surprised, but thinking of Shizune's future relationship with Tsunade, she quickly came to her senses and said, "Shizune, we've come to see Lady Tsunade."

Shizune realized what was happening and quickly invited Yagami Yoruichi and Maruboshi Kosuke inside: "Lady Tsunade already told me yesterday, I didn't expect it to be you, please come in."

Inviting the two into the living room, Shizune blushed and stammered, "Please have some tea first. Wait a moment, I'll go check if Lady Tsunade has woken up yet..."

The thought that Tsunade had made an appointment with someone in advance but was still sleeping in made Shizune feel a little embarrassed.

But since Tsunade was her elder, she couldn't say anything.

“No rush, we can wait,” Maruhoshi Kosuke said with a smile.

He had heard about Tsunade's ways, so he wasn't surprised to hear that she was still sleeping in. He said to Shizune, "Don't disturb Tsunade. We can wait a little longer."

“Yes, it’s okay for us to wait a bit,” Yagami Yoruichi chimed in.

Tsunade is known for her bad temper. If she gets woken up, she'll throw a punch at her with superhuman strength, and her small body can't withstand it.

"I heard from Lady Tsunade that a genius would be coming to take the test today, but I never expected it to be you, Yoruichi-kun." Shizune looked at Yoruichi Yagami with curiosity.

Yoruichi Yagami has a somewhat withdrawn personality. She is only close to Kurenai Yuhi and Kakashi Hatake in her class and doesn't interact much with others.

Shizune only knew that Yagami Yoruichi was a genius who consistently held the top spot in Class A of the first year, and had never fallen to second place in either theoretical or practical exams.

However, the two did not have much contact. They only sparred a few times during the practical class last semester, when they were randomly assigned to be opponents.

"It's just a test." Yagami Yoruichi shook her head, looked at Shizune, and asked, "You're staying at Lady Tsunade's house, so you've already become Lady Tsunade's disciple?"

"Not yet." Shizune looked a little nervous and said, "Lady Tsunade said she would wait two years until I had a solid theoretical foundation before she would accept me as her disciple."

While speaking, Jingyin subconsciously looked to one side.

Following Shizune's gaze, Yagami Yoruichi looked into the room next door, where several bookshelves were filled with all sorts of books.

If all of them were stacked together, they would probably be as tall as several Yoruichi Yagami.

Yoruichi Yagami's lips twitched involuntarily.

Unexpectedly, even in the ninja world, the theoretical knowledge required to learn medical ninjutsu is no less than that of medical students in my previous life.

Although Yagami Yoruichi had never studied medicine, she had heard the saying, "If you advise someone to study medicine, you'll be struck by lightning."

"Are those all introductory books?" Yagami Yoruichi couldn't help but ask.

With so much to learn, even someone with an excellent memory would need a very long time to learn it, right?

"Lady Tsunade said these are the most basic things." Shizune gave a strange look. "I've been studying for two years and I've only mastered about a third of them."

Yagami Yoichi: "..."

Maruhoshi Kosuke: "..."

No wonder it's so difficult to train a medical ninja.

Just learning the basic theoretical knowledge alone requires so much content, plus the extremely high requirement of Yang Escape talent.

Medical ninjas who are willing to learn and can actually learn something are naturally very rare.

Konoha is somewhat better off because Tsunade is there, and she has developed a complete system for training medical ninjas.

Other ninja villages, even the four villages that are also among the five great ninja villages, have even fewer medical ninjas than Konoha.

If I were to become Tsunade's disciple, would I have to learn all these things too?

Putting aside the difficulty of the medical knowledge, just the sheer number of these books made Yagami Yoruichi feel his scalp tingle.

but……

Maruhoshi Kosuke said that his apprenticeship with Tsunade was only nominal, and he did not truly inherit Tsunade's mantle.

If that's the case, then there's no need to learn those things that make people want to vomit blood.

"You've had a tough time," Yagami Yoruichi said, looking at Shizune with sympathy.

Studying medicine is terrifying enough, but imagine what Tsunade will become in the future. Shizune, at such a young age, will have to take care of Tsunade and deal with all sorts of messes for her.

It's hard to say whether it's lucky or unlucky to have such an unreliable teacher.

"I think it's alright..." Shizune thought that Yagami Yoruichi was sympathizing with her because she had a lot to learn, so she forced herself to say, "Tsunade-sama is doing this for my own good, to lay a good foundation so that I can develop more smoothly in the future."

Yagami Yoruichi knew that Shizune had misunderstood, but she didn't explain. Instead, she went along with her words and said, "Studying medicine is very hard, but as a medical ninja, you can spend more time in the safe rear, where your safety is more guaranteed."

Not every medical ninja can fight on the front lines like Tsunade.

Most medical ninjas stay in the safe rear to care for the wounded and do not need to personally fight the enemy.

From a safety perspective, being a medical ninja can indeed avoid most of the risks.

Yagami Yoruichi and Shizune chatted casually about the topic of 'medical ninja'.

Maruhoshi Kosuke didn't get involved; he just watched from the sidelines.

After chatting for a while, footsteps sounded from the stairs, and Tsunade came downstairs yawning.

"Uncle Kosuke, wasn't it supposed to be this afternoon?" Tsunade looked like she hadn't woken up yet.

Maruhoshi Kosuke's smile remained unchanged, but his tone was very serious as he corrected Tsunade's mistake: "You told us to come over at noon, and you even said you wanted to drink the chicken soup I make."

"Ha, then I must have remembered wrong." Tsunade chuckled awkwardly, changing the subject and looking at Yagami Yoruichi, asking, "Is this the child? He doesn't seem particularly special. Is he worth your and Uncle Torifu's strong recommendation?"

"Yoruichi's talent is outstanding; she is undoubtedly the number one genius I have ever seen." Maruboshi Kosuke said earnestly, "Tsunade, you won't regret taking this disciple as your disciple."

"I will test him seriously, but if he fails my test, don't blame me." Tsunade showed no sign of changing her mind.

The so-called opportunity to test someone is more like a more tactful way of refusing someone because they are too embarrassed to admit it.

Maruboshi Kosuke was well aware of this, but given Tsunade's status, if she herself was unwilling to take on a disciple, there was indeed no one who could force her to do so.

"Yoruichi, do your best. Just do whatever Tsunade tells you to do." Maruboshi Kosuke stood up and walked towards the kitchen, saying to Tsunade as he went, "I'll make you some chicken soup. Please don't make it too outrageous for the sake of this bowl of chicken soup."

Chapter 46 Tsunade's Test

"You think you can bribe me with just a bowl of chicken soup!" Tsunade muttered, pursing her lips.

But thinking of the taste of the chicken soup that Maruhoshi Kosuke had personally cooked, she couldn't help but lick her lips.

Kosuke Maruhoshi's culinary skills are even better than those of many chefs in luxury restaurants.

If I accept the disciple recommended by Maruboshi Kosuke, and have Maruboshi Kosuke be my personal chef for a period of time...

It seems that it's not something that can't be considered?

Tsunade's thoughts drifted for a moment before she quickly regained her composure and looked at Yagami Yoruichi.

"To become my disciple, one must be a genius in medical ninjutsu. If you don't have talent in medical ninjutsu, I will not accept you."

After Tsunade finished speaking, she turned to Shizune and instructed her, "Shizune, go and get the Yang Release chakra test strips and test whether he has the Yang Release attribute."

Ordinary chakra test strips can only test the basic five elemental attributes: wind, fire, lightning, water, and earth. As for Yin and Yang attributes, special test strips are required to test them.

Chakra nature can be acquired through training. Even if you don't have a chakra nature at birth, you can still master it through training.

However, mastering the basic five elemental attributes through training is very difficult, let alone the more difficult Yang and Yin elements.

The most crucial element in learning medical ninjutsu is having the Yang Release attribute; without this attribute, it's almost impossible to even begin.

Shizune jogged back to her room, and a moment later, handed a chakra test strip to Yoruichi Yagami: "Yoruichi-kun, try inputting your chakra. If the test strip reacts, it means you have a natural Yang Release attribute."

Yoruichi Yagami took the test strip and channeled a wisp of chakra into it.

In the blink of an eye, a complex array of patterns appeared on the test strip.

"The seal has been triggered! Yoruichi, you have the Yang Release attribute!" Shizune said with a happy expression, then handed another test paper to Yoruichi Yagami and urged, "Try the Yin Release too."

"Medical ninjutsu only requires Yang Release, why test Yin Release?!" Tsunade's dissatisfied voice rang out.

But as she spoke, Yoruichi Yagami had already taken the test strip and injected chakra into it.

There was no reaction; it remained unchanged.

"No Yin Release attribute..." Shizune said with a hint of disappointment in her voice when she saw this.

Yagami Yoruichi had a guess in his mind.

Yang Dun is related to the body, while Yin Dun is related to the mind.

He has an extremely strong body and very high physical attributes.

However, her mental attributes are relatively low compared to Yoruichi Yagami's own strength.

It is reasonable from the data panel that it is born with the Yang Release attribute but not the Yin Release attribute.

Therefore, one's complete attributes are wind, fire, water, and yang, which are four attributes.

The three attributes of thunder, earth, and yin are missing?

Having Yang Release attribute doesn't mean you have the talent for medical ninjutsu.

For some reason, Yagami Yoruichi detected a hint of anger in Tsunade's tone.

I don't know what I did to upset her.

Yagami Yoruichi didn't dare to speak, listening attentively to Tsunade's instructions: "You probably haven't had any medical knowledge before, so I won't test you with anything too difficult. I've heard you have a good talent for ninjutsu, which is perfect since medical ninjutsu requires a high level of chakra control, so I'll test your ability in that area. Here's a ninjutsu; if you can learn it before sunset this afternoon, I'll reluctantly acknowledge that you have a talent for medical ninjutsu."

As she spoke, Tsunade took out a small scroll from her bosom and tossed it to Yagami Yoruichi.

Yagami Yoruichi opened the scroll and, upon seeing the name of the ninjutsu recorded on it, subconsciously uttered, "Regeneration Technique?"

"Regeneration Technique?" Although Maruboshi Kosuke was busy in the kitchen, he had been paying attention to what was happening here. Hearing Yagami Yoruichi's voice, he couldn't help but come out of the kitchen and said angrily to Tsunade, "Tsunade, you've gone too far! You learned a B-rank medical ninjutsu in one afternoon? Don't think I don't know that it took you a week to learn this ninjutsu back then!"
